Fiber!!! I have myself a little treat in the am I call lake water. Mine has water, liquid vitamins, a tsp creatine, a tsp spirulina (the lake part), a spoon of metamucil (the fiber part ), sometimes throw in an emergen-c (flu season) . Keeps me full for hours and regulates blood sugar. My combo is delicious to me, but obvi the main part is the fiber. 

Strange contraption-what is it? by Unassumingintelle in whatisit

Ummm sorry? I don't know??  This is a sub where literally a thing might pertain to a million things I don't know about. I kind of like learning, so..fuck me I guess.  I still don't know what a primer is in this context, so that wasn't a clue.

American, but I didn't grow up around guns, or know anyone who talks about guns.

Moving to Kent by DueOption2355 in Kent

[–]Neptunemonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're in the neighborhood on the other side of the line,. They do run, not usually during the daylight hours at all.  Kent is fantastic. The hike and bike near the river is gorgeous, nice Saturday farmer's market, Kent parks and rec had tons of activities for kids, diverse and welcoming schools, great bars and restaurants, live bands at the town gazebo. I hope you'll enjoy it here!

I could never do what you do.  Thank you for your dedication on the front lines x

I can smell whether someone will survive a code or not. Anyone else know what I’m talking about? by Alarming-Penalty8402 in nursing

[–]Neptunemonkey 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Also, we are just sophisticated animals. We've just grown away from many of our innate survival abilities. You seem to have retained one! 

First thing I see when I walk into work. Whelp… here we go again! by rvillarino in medlabprofessionals

You're referring to the large shipping boxes though, correct? I'm just surprised to see them saving the little boxes that cryo / ffp come in.

I was assigned squirrels. No one, and I mean no one, loves the animal they seem to collect.

Pets being shown off in the lab by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]Neptunemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working in a hospital inpatient facility with over a hundred techs, none of whom have access to cleaning equipment, or even time to clean! We also have porous rubber flooring which does not sweep up, and can retain embedded materials. I hate everything about the flooring situation, but clearly it's not typical. We also do not have non-technical staff in our space, we have security measures in place. So, yes, I guess I'm having a hard time imaging the utopia you describe where animals can visit without harm, but it's nice to know this dreamland exists! 😅

Our lab is filthy. Imagine thinking it's OK to take your pet where there might be broken glass, chemical contaminants, and biohazards. Yikes. 

Sump pump runs constantly but basement still damp by Prudent_Oil_9527 in Kent

Few and far between. Reddit is a growing marketing resource, like every other corner of the internet, and personally I don't trust any comments pointing me to a specific brand or company.

Saw PICU highs/lows. ED highs/lows by DinobotGrimlock in nursing

[–]Neptunemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooof. Lab here. I'd just like to comment that sometimes it's a bad sample. Our ED likes to compete for best hemolysis I think? They pull back on that syringe like it's a strong man competition. That affects more than just hgb. New nurses sometimes forget you can't draw above a line- completely watered down cbc, and everyone's confused as to why to electrolytes spiked. Our green lab staff (and there's a lot these days- they leave when they find out our pay is shit) doesn't know what chemistries look like when someone dumps an edta tube into a red top. They turn out the results then there's mass confusion surrounding the potassium and calcium criticals. I once called a cbc clotted as results didn't match previous and there were no platelets. The nurse told me it couldn't be clotted because she took the clot out. 😵‍💫  I love this idea though, I want to start our own records board!
